Small list of spacemacs tips

Note: I’ve decided to abandoned the switch, and am working on making my vim
config better, giving me at least some of the neat features present in spacemacs.

I’ve recently started making the switch from vim + tmux to spacemacs.
Things have been very slow going, but occasionally I learn something that really
helps out.
I’ll be posting those small learnings here.

FYI, SPC is pressing the “Space” key.
The keys after SPC are to be pressed in order with the specified
capitalization.

edit the spacemacs config file

Incredibly useful at all times: SPC f e d

highlight column 80

I typically want to show where column 80 is located, so I can choose to wrap my
code.
There’s a way to toggle this, with SPC t f (toggle fill-column), but I want it
enabled by default.
To do this, you have to edit your config file (how-to is described above), and
add the following in the defun dotspacemacs/user-config () section.
